I was amazed at what a useful version of God's Word this Bible is! The rainbow system of color-coding each and every verse makes reading and studying the Bible more enjoyable and productive. I can't remember how many times I've flipped through the gospels looking for a particular verse by its color. There is no extraneous information (i.e. devotional sections or in-text explanations), and this helps to make this Bible a great study aid, giving each verse importance in a particular topic area (God, Commandments, Discipleship, Faith, etc.). I would heartily recommend this book to everyone, ESPECIALLY to the Christian who is reading his/her Bible for the first time. The simple rainbow system allows one to read the Word of God without the interpretation of theologians or scholars; I found that it constantly inspires me to pray and seek God's wisdom in understanding what He's saying to me.

I HAVE TRIED TO READ THE BIBLE FOR YEARS,ALWAYS FAILED, GOT CONFUSED.WELL, NOT WITH THIS ONE, THE REASON, IT IS COLORED CODED ALL THE WAY THROUGH,& YOU WILL KNOW WHAT EACH COLOR REPRESENTS,FOR INSTANCE,PROPHECY WILL BE A COLOR,&HISTORY,A DIFFERENT COLOR,ECT.ONE MORE THING I REALLY THINK IS GREAT, IN OTHER BIBLES,ONLY IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,IS MARKED WHERE JESUS SPEAKS, IN THIS BIBLE,WHENEVER,"GOD,THE HOLY SPIRIT,AND JESUS" SPEAKS IT IS UNDERLINES, SO IT IS VERY HELPFUL,& MAKES IT SO EASY READING. YOU KNOW,WHAT YOU ARE READING, WHAT IT MEANS,& ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS "OUR FATHER,SON OR HOLY SPIRIT.I'D LIKE TO BUY EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY ONE.IT REALLY IS WELL PUT TOGETHER& I ENJOY READING THE BIBLE NOW,BECAUSE I DON'T GET LOST& I LOVE TO READ,& I GOT TELL YOU,"THIS BOOK"(THE BIBLE) IS A BEST SELLER. IT IS HARD TO FIND,I KNOW OF TWO PLACES THAT SELL IT,AMAZON IS THE CHEAPEST YOUR GOING TO FIND IT,I GOT MINE FROM [local store] ,AFTER TX,S/H,IT WAS [expensive] DUMB! I DID NOT CHECK AMAZON FIRST.REGUARLESS,IT IS WORTH ANY AMOUNT, BECAUSE THIS BIBLE YOU WILL READ& IT WOULD BE THE PERFECT GIFT FOR ANYONE,YOUNG&OLD,EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY & FRIENDS THAT SEE IT,WANT IT!THIS ONE WILL NOT BE IDLE ON YOUR SHELF, HONEST.

This NIV Bible is very easy on the eyes to read. Different shades of background colors indicate different Bible topics such as faith, family, sin, etc. Words spoken by the Trinity are underlined. At the beginning of each book of the Bible there is a summary of the author, when and where the book was written, a map, and other summary info.

I basically agree with the review by Encompassed Runner below: There are both pros and cons to this bible and that review summarizes them very well. The main problem I had with the bible was that some of the colors look very similar, especially in dim light. At first, all the colors seemed to strain my eyes. However, in time, I got used to the coloring system and now I really enjoy it. While I too have a system for marking the bible, it is nice to have one so thoroughly and professionally marked. The type is very clear and the references are good. I have gotten a lot of joy from searching the bible based on a particular "color" or theme. I found my bible at a deep discount; I would not pay full price for one. If you find a good price, get one!!

The NIV Rainbow Study Bible is an excellent product. I must congratulate the author and his support team for such a wonderful and thorough job.

I received this gift from my boss eleven years ago and still I am and will always be an avid reader/student of the Bible. It has been such a helpful tool in understanding the Bible that I have been giving it to my friends and family.

I use the maps, diagrams, subject guide, concordance, and the analysis at the beginning of each book. Most of all I just love the color coding with the different subjects like, Faith, Family, God etc; this makes study interesting and gives a "hands-on" insight into the inspired Word of God.

This NIV version is reader-friendly in a language that is easy to understand and follow along, as against the earlier versions, which made comprehension a bit challenging for me. During my study I also compare NIV's contents and interpretations against another version and so far no content has been lost through the interpretation. My one desire is have it in a smaller size so that I can carry it around wherever I go!

I would defintely recommend this product.

I have trouble focusing on what I'm reading. The colors on the text in this Bible help me focus and concentrate while at the same time helping me comprehend what I'm reading because each color has meaning. Highly recommended.

I got this Bible for my 10year old daughter to use at school. She was just thrilled with it, she just loves the colors. The book is typed in a clear font and the highlighting is fantastic. I definately recommend this Bible to anyone.

I really love this Bible. Even for someone who is well-versed in Bible scripture, this adds a new dimension to your understanding. I purchased one for myself and liked it so much that I purchased one for my mom for Mother's Day.

This bible has been great. I just love it. It is much easier to understand and learn the bible. Many really great features. It helps clarifie and gives greater understanding to the reader. I am a long time Christian.

Product was received in fairly good condition. Although there were some markings here and there but they will also serve for my own spiritual enlightenment. I had to erase the names with tippex but apart from that it is okay. Thank you for giving me a good copy.
